I???m proud of our policing tradition. The belief that we do not arm our officers means each of us feel able to approach them, to see them as equals, and to trust them.

A white South Carolina police officer has been charged with murder after a video of him shooting a black man running away from him became public - months after previous cases of police killings saw no charges against the officer. So when have police faced charges?

Police shouldn't be able to carry guns.
people with guns think that they need them this makes them scared and trigger happy.

Many gun owners confess to feeling vulnerable or “naked” without their guns. Perhaps this isn’t surprising; having a gun gives you considerable power over people.

If you feel small, or weak, or underachieving, or anything like this, dealing with others can induce a great deal of social anxiety. A gun would provide at least one easy way where you can have the advantage over them for once, even if this reasoning only occurs at a subconscious level.

Police should not be able to carry guns. Because it discourages gun manufacturing,  and therefore it will be harder for criminals to get their hands on them for themselves. And if criminals are not armed with guns, then the police don't.

I think that officers shouldn't be able. It is extremely dangerous, what happens if they miss the target and hit an innocent person. Why kill the suspect doesn't that make the officer just as bad as the suspect.

I think police shouldn't carry guns because they can be stupid and use it when it's unnecessary.

Honestly, the police shouldn't have guns because they could be a jerk and shoot innocent people.

Police officers should be able to carry guns with the current terror threats we have in Australia at the moment. With the recent siege in Brighton, police killed the offender after they had confirmed that he had killed someone before he took the woman hostage for two hours. If police officers didn't have guns they would've had to wait for armed police officers to arrive at the scene, but at that point the offender could've killed the hostage.

The Police shouldn't be allowed to carry guns because the faith/safety of humanity is at risk and everyone is in danger.

A recent survey by the Metropolitan Police Federation suggested 50% of members want to be armed. That is not the case nationwide.

We represent 122,000 officers in England and Wales, 5,639 firearms trained, but the vast majority do not feel they wish to be, or need to be, routinely armed.

After the events at Westminster, the feeling in the service is understandably raw.

The police should be able to carry guns but the police need rules to use a gun and they should have examples of when they can use it for example they should only use it when they are in a big terriost fight.

If the police with armed weapons take for ever to get to the spot where the fight is. Than there will be a lot of poeple dead and a lot injured

I think the police should be allowed to carry weapons but are not allowed to shoot to kill. For example when chasing somebody shoot the legs instead killing them.

They should because if someone else has a gun or any weapon and are going to kill the police they need a way to protect themselves and not be totally defenceless.

In 2006, two unarmed female police constables were shot dead in the line of duty in the north of England. Their boss, Greater Manchester Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy had this to say:

“We are passionate that the British style of policing is routinely unarmed policing. Sadly we know from the experience in America and other countries that having armed officers certainly does not mean, sadly, that police officers do not end up getting shot.

Some police officers should be armed with guns that are loaded with bullets and some other police officers should carry guns loaded with blanks so if they need to look intimidating they can and when they need to shoot the blanks make it sound like their armed making it intimidating for terrorists.

Last night in Brighton a terrorist that was released in prison on Parole provoked havocblast last night. He has been known as a violent criminal and is a terrorist and has been linked with extremists. Yacqub Kharye has been in jail for a while for an violent horrific crime and has had his Parole dates pushed due to poor behaviour in prison causing fights provoking people etc. This is further reasoning to support my theory as if the police in Brighton carried even some of them carried guns with blanks this horrific crime wouldn't have happened. Well you may be asking how does it support your theory if he is a known violent person that shouldn't have been let of prison. I'm getting to rhat. Well that's further evidence if police had some guns loaded with blanks he wouldn't have committed his first crime due to the fear factor involved.
